Last night, this bit of nimroddery appeared on the pages of Think Progress<\/a>, announcing that Limbaugh said that God caused that volcano to erupt in reaction to the Health Care Reform bill; <\/p>\n

Yesterday, hate radio host Rush Limbaugh talked about the volcanic eruption that\u2019s affecting air travel over much of Europe, saying it was \u201cGod speaking\u201d in response to the passage of health care:<\/p>\n

You know, a couple of days after the health care bill had been signed into law Obama ran around all over the country saying, \u201cHey, you know, I\u2019m looking around. The earth hadn\u2019t opened up. There\u2019s no Armageddon out there. The birds are still chirping.\u201d I think the earth has opened up. God may have replied. This volcano in Iceland has grounded more airplanes \u2014 airspace has more affected \u2014 than even after 9\/11 because of this plume, because of this ash cloud over Northern and Western Europe. At the Paris airport they\u2019re telling people to head to the train station to catch trains out of France, and when people get to the train station they\u2019re telling people, \u201cThere aren\u2019t any seats until at least April 22nd,\u201d basically a week from now. It\u2019s got everybody in a shutdown. Earth has opened up. I don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s a rebirth or Armageddon. Hopefully it\u2019s a rebirth, God speaking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Clearly, Limbaugh was being facetious in regards to the Obama remark. But it went right over the head of the Think Progress crowd who is more than willing to accept that Limbaigh is a religious fruitcake.<\/p>\n

I didn’t see Think Progress go after the yahoo who said that the earthquake in Haiti was the result of global warming – an equally fruity premise, blaming everything on the superstition known as climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
